f|i0torical 




N the passage of the Act of I 3th of February, 
1 800, erecting Centre County, it was pro- 
vided that Bellefonte should become the 
county seat. The principal consideration 
therefor was set forth in the deed from the 
Proprietors of the Town to the Trustees of 
the new county whereby they not only set 
aside the square for the erection of the 
county buildings thereon, but conveyed an 
undivided one-thud mterest m all the lots of 
the Town to the County. 

By the beginning of the year 1 805 it was found that this fund 
had grown sufficiently to warrant the erection of a court-house. 
Up until this time the sessions of the court were held in the stone 
house at the northeast corner of High and Spring streets, then the 
property of James Dunlop and now owned by the Jacob Valen- 
tine Estate. 

The first court-house was an unpretentious two-story stone 
building occupying the space now taken up by the front lobb5^ 
and the offices of the Prothontary and Register. This structure 
was completed, as nearly as can be ascertained, m the Fall of the 
year 1 805 or the Spring of I 806. The second story being de- 
voted to the court-room. 

Durmg the next five years the business of the county grew 
so rapidly that the little court-house was insufficient for its needs, 
and wings were built in the year 181 I to both the northern and 
southern ends extending somewhat beyond the western front ot 
the original building. For many years these additions were ap- 
parently sufficient for their purpose and in I 835 it was suggested 
that the building be ornamented and dignified by the erection ol 
the present columned porch which was completed during that year. 

By 1854 the court-house had fallen into a bad state of repair 
and petitions were presented to several Grand Juries asking for a 
recommendation for the erection of a new building. These were 
continually refused until, after repeated urging, two Grand Juries 
finally recommended "alterations and repairs". Acting on these 

12 



recommendations the Board of Commissioners went to the limit 
of their powers and tore away all the building except the col- 
umned porch, rebuilding the entire structure to the rear thereof 
and completing the same in 1855. 

Notwithstandmg the fact that there was no basement under 
this building, that it had no toilet accommodations, no water, even 
for drinking purposes, and none at all for fire protection, the 
old building remained practically as it was rebuilt in 1855 for 
fifty-live years, until the annual repairs grew to a very large 
figure. With no fire protection for the county records, no water 
accommodations, and not sufficient space for the transaction of 
the ordinary business of the county or the proper care of the 
records, a serious condition has confronted each Board of Com- 
missioners for many years, until the necessity became too great to 
be longer avoided. 

For many years the court-house has been insufficient for the 
proper transaction of the business of the County, and during the 
past ten years the various Boards of Commissioners had seriously 
considered a reconstruction of the old building. However, no 
definite plan had been made until the present Board was con- 
fronted with the actual necessity of making some decided change 
and enlargement. This necessity arose by reason of the follow- 
ing facts, viz: 

1 — The vaults containing the county records were not fireproof, 
and each one was filled to overflowing with its records, while 
the County Treasurer had no vault for his use. 

2 — The Grand Jury, twenlv-four in number, were compelled to 
hold their sessions in a small jurvi room, with no cloak or 
toilet accommodations, and their witnesses, who had to wait 
in the court-room, were a constant interruption and delay to 
the court proceedings. 

3 — The Register and his deputy and the Recorder and his deputy 
used the same office, with no privacy in the transaction of 
business, and continual interference with each others work. 
The Commissioners had no private room for either their board 
meetings or for the transaction of the county's business with 
the numerous citizens who come to see them, and the regular 
office work was greatly handicapped thereby. 

4 — Neither the Judge, the District-Attorney, the County Super- 
intendent of Schools, nor the County Surveyor, had offices in 
the building, thereby putting the county to the annual expense 
of much outside office rent. 

J3 



5 — The laws of this State provide for the maintainance of a law 
library in connection with each county court-house. The old 
library, located in what was practically a passage-way or 
cloak-room, was placed on open shelving reaching to the top 
of a fifteen-foot wall, and the valuable books thereon were 
not only ruined by dust and dirt but many of them were out 
of reach. 

6 — The main entrances to the court-room were so arranged that 
the coming and going of those in attendance at court caused 
the greatest confusion, and the seats m the auditorium were 
raised in such a manner that the rising and seating of the audi- 
ences during the court proceedings caused much interruption; 
while the ceiling of the court-room was in bad condition and 
needed general repairs, and the furnishing and decorating of 
the room, done piecemeal during many years, was neither in 
harmony with the style of the building or of the room itself. 

7 — The offices on the first floor were badly lighted, with no ven- 
tilation, as the old building had no cellar or basement floor, 
and the retaining walls along the side streets were so high 
and so close to the building that they increased the unhealthy 
condition of the offices. The corridor floor was merely a 
stone pavement, laid over fifty years ago without any under- 
drain, and was impossible to keep clean and in a sanitary 
condition. There ,was no running water in the building and 
the toilet conveniences were few, poor and unsanitary. 

8 — The roof the building was improperly supported and had 
sunk in several places until it was in danger of collapse. The 
roofing material was leaky and in general bad condition, and 
the mechanism of the town clock had been repaired and 
patched so often that it could no longer be considered a time- 
keeper. 

9 — The court-house was reconstructed in 1855, fifty-six years 
ago, and of late years had become a source of heav^ annual 
expense to the county in continual repairs. 

With these reasons as a basis, the present Board of Commis- 
sioners decided to build the addition to the eastern end of the 
court-house building, which had so often been strenuously recom- 
mended by Grand Juries, and to undertake the other improve- 
ments also recommended by them. They then consulted various 
architects and men of, experience in such matters, which delibera- 
tions finally resulted in the selection of the plans of Architects 
Newman & Harris, of Philadelphia, for the building of the east- 
ern addition and of certain necessary and long needed improve- 
ments to the old building. 

14 



The Board then presented the plans ior the contemplated alter- 
ations and improvements at a meeting held at the home of Judge 
Ellis L. Orvis, consisting of his Honor, the Judge, each member 
of the Bar of Centre County who was able to attend, and Su- 
perior Court Judge, General James A. Beaver. After a com- 
plete investigation and discussion of the subject, these gentlemen 
not only unanimously approved of the same as being in line with 
the recommendations of many Grand Juries, but urged the Board 
to take immediate action thereon. 

It was the general opinion of the great majority of persons ap- 
proached on the subject that the main portico or front of the 
building, erected in 1835, should not be changed in any way. 
Upon careful examination it was found that while the walls were 
in every way substantial, yet the tearing down of any portion 
would probably mean the collapse of the one so opened. There- 
fore, it was the opinion of the architects who were selected, as well 
as of other prominent architects who were consulted, that the erec- 
tion of an addition to the eastern end of the old structure was the 
only solution of the problem. 

The plans as originally decided upon, contemplated the build- 
ing of the eastern addition eighty feet wide and forty feet deep, 
to contain sufficient room for the Grand Jury and its witnesses, a 
vault for the Treasurer, and offices and a vault for the Commis- 
sioners on the first floor, with offices for the Judge and the Dis- 
trict Attorney and sufficient room for a memorial hall and library 
on the second floor. A basement was also to be excavated un- 
der the addition to make room for a heating and ventilating plant, 
as well as additional vault space for the future years. The plans 
also provided for the rearrangement of the office rooms so that 
the Register and the Recorder should each have separate offices, a 
room for the County Superintendent and County Surveyor, a 
janitor's room, several toilet rooms, and an enlargement of the 
Prothonotary's vault space. They also included the remodeling 
of the court-room, the proper support of the roof and a permanent 
cover therefor, fireproofing of the vaults, and some method of 
making the entire building as nearly fireproof as possible. 

In the development of these plans, it was found that the best 
manner of fireproofing the building was to construct all the stair- 
ways of iron with marble treads and to wainscoat the corridors and 
lobbies with marble, this construction, with standpipes running to 
each floor from the town water mains, gives practical immunity 
from fire and full protection for the county records, which they 
have never had before. 

\Z 



The first consideration in the building of the proposed addition 
and the reconstruction of the old building, was to be able to finance 
the work without adding to the tax rate, or in any way increasing 
the burden of taxation on the citizens of the county. This was 
accomplished by borrowing the sum of one hundred thousand dol- 
lars at four per cent, interest, and, notwithstanding the fact that 
there was a very poor market for bonds during the summer of 
1 909, this loan was placed so that it netted the county treasury 
over two per cent, profit on the transaction. Arrangements were 
then made for a sinking fund with the Bellefonte Trust Company, 
so that by the payment from the county funds of eleven hundred 
dollars every six months for a period of thirty years the entire 
amount of one hundred thousand dollars would accumulate in that 
time, though the actual payment by the county would be only 
sixty-six thousand dollars, the accumulated interest on said sink- 
mg fund aggregatmg the balance of thnty-four thousand dollars. 
The new and remodeled court-house therefore will cost the county 
sixty-two hundred dollars per year for thirty years, four thousand 
dollars for the annual interest and twenty-two hundred dollars 
for the annual sinking fund payments, at the end of which time 
the Trust Company will have the full sum of one hundred thou- 
sand dollars with which to lift the bonds. This annual payment 
is less than five per cent, of the annual income of the county and 
will not affect the tax rate in any way during the life of the bonds.
